blogging

the blogosphere: there are over 420,000 bloggers in the world blogging at this moment. Blogging is a great way to express yourself creatively and intellectually through a modern medium. I'm gonna try and find some music or food blogs to follow. That seems interesting. That seems fun. I'd also like to follow a sports blog because of the lack of time I have nowadays to follow my favorite teams.

"the day, already bright with sun, hit me like a slap in the face" (47).

The physical experience Camus creates through this use of imagery works to give the reader a life like thought which connects him closer with the story. Camus uses simile to show the bright rays of sunlight that have so unwittingly shined upon Meursault's face. Camus has a special way with his words that really reach out to the reader to spark his/her interest in reading deeper into the novel.

darwin was a natural charmer

"When we no longer look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond his comprehension; when we regard every production of nature as one which has had a history; when we contemplate every complex structure and instinct as the summing up of many contrivances...will the study of natural history become!" (Darwin 75).





Darwin's use of imagery proves to make his argument stronger and more interesting for the reader. He uses simile to describe an organic being which intrigues the reader into believing his argument that much more. This aspect of Darwin's writing is what makes him such an readable, and convincing writer. He uses creative and persuasive writing to strengthen his argument in a rational way.
